Norsk Titanium Announces Deployment of RPD Builder™ Tool
28.10.2021 19:54:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Norsk Titanium AS (Norsk Titanium; Euronext: NTI), a global leader in Directed Energy Deposition (DED) additive manufacturing of aerospace-grade structural titanium components, announces today a significant advancement to their Rapid Plasma Deposition® (RPD®) process. The company has successfully deployed and validated the internally developed RPD Builder™ computer-aided manufacturing tool for the first time, significantly shortening part development timelines.
“This is a tremendous accomplishment for Norsk Titanium,” said Nicholas Mayer, Norsk Titanium’s Vice President of Commercial. “RPD Builder™ is a significant enabler as we move into more industrial manufacturing and engineering services markets. It will give our customers added flexibility and allow them to explore part design options independent from our manufacturing engineering team.”
RPD Builder™ has been developed over the past three years and incorporates the full knowledge base of Norsk Titanium’s process metallurgy and machine controls into a single design toolkit. It enables users to rapidly translate customers’ final part geometries into optimized RPD® Form designs, and ultimately produces the code needed for any of Norsk Titanium’s Merke IV® RPD® machines to print the part preform regardless of location. Norsk Titanium’s manufacturing engineers have already employed the software on multiple part development efforts, reducing development time to as little as two days.
“Our Material Process & Product team has evaluated the microstructure of the deposited preforms and validated that the material produced with the RPD Builder™ is consistent with our proven process,” said Odd Terje Lium, Norsk Titanium’s Vice President of Engineering. “We were able to validate that the software is capable of producing complex geometries on multiple machines in both our development and production facilities.”
Initial application of RPD Builder™ comes as Norsk Titanium further expands into markets beyond commercial aerospace. The computer-aided manufacturing tool will be deployed under license with customers who desire more insight into part development than Norsk Titanium’s current built-to-print finished products.
